Let’s Talk Tariffs | March 4, 2025 | Hour 2
President Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada have officially gone into effect, marking a significant development in the administration’s approach to international trade. These tariffs, which target key imports such as steel, aluminum, and certain agricultural products, are part of the President’s broader strategy to renegotiate trade agreements and address what he has described as unfair trade practices.
In this discussion, we explore the relationship between tariffs and inflation, examining how imposing tariffs can lead to higher prices for goods and materials, particularly those heavily imported from the affected countries. However, tariffs are not inherently harmful to the economy—in some cases, they can serve as a tool to protect domestic industries, encourage investment at home, and even strengthen strategic sectors like manufacturing.
We’ll break down the economic trade-offs involved: while consumers may see price increases in the short term, tariffs can also drive long-term benefits such as job creation in industries that were previously undercut by cheaper imports. Ultimately, the impact of tariffs depends on a range of factors, including how trading partners respond, the ability of domestic producers to fill supply gaps, and the broader state of the global economy.
